Houdegbe North American University Students Turn Girl To Snake 4 Money

The Love of Money is the root of all evil, so says the holy bible.
This has become evidently true with recent happenings in our society
today, with series of kidnapping and all sort of crimes committed by the
young generation of Nigerian Youths who ordinarily are meant to be
worthy role models. Yesterday Afternoon, i got different disturbing
messages from Houdegbe North American University Benin Republic(HNAUB)
about the case of a guy who was arrested for money rituals around 3pm
yesterday. The guy had turned a fellow female student to a snake using
juju powers. Below is how the Narrator bares it all:

The
guys are 100 Level Business Administration Students of my
school(Houdegbe North American University Benin Republic), they're
freshers who wants quick money and wants to oppress. The ritual had
already been done and from the confession of the guy who was arrested
after his accomplice had fled, they snake was supposed to start
producing money for them yesterday before they were caught and the other
guy bolted. So you understand that he was just unlucky to have been
caught cause he didn't do it alone, they were two or more self.

Heard
they travelled down to Port Novo for the rituals according to the
arrested guy, pictures of two girls were also found in the box which
contained the snake. The Snake in the box is actually one of the girls
while the second girl's head had already been chopped off quoting the
guy that was arrested. It was a girl that stays in the same compound
with them that noticed their strange movements and reported to the
police, some of their girlfriends have actually been declared missing
for some days now but no one ever imagined that they could have been
used for money rituals until today(yesterday). Everyone had thought the
girls had done their "crayfish waka" as usual, not knowing that the
girls have been used for rituals."

After listening to all that
was narratted to me, i felt terribly bad and imagined what would be the
fate of the parents and families of the girls. Is this how bad our
youths have been so pollutted? Imagining the fact that these guys are
actually freshers in the University, also checking from another angle is
about the girls involved. Could it have been Possible that they never
suspected these guys all along or were they so blinded by the money and
flamboyant lifestyle they were enjoying with the guys?

South African Blade runner Oscar Pistorious has been granted bail by
Magistrate court in south Africa. He is facing murder charge over the
valentine's day shooting of his girlfriend at his house.

Magistrate
Desmond Nair concludes he has made a strong enough case, citing
Pistorious detailed account in his version of events. The prosecution
failed to establish any of the factors that would have led Nair refusing
bail.

Shouts of "yes" from pistorious family and friends were heard as the magistrate made his ruling.

It is now looking more likely the blade runner will walk free from murder.

Titilayo
Fagbamila, a friend of the deceased said Olayinde always complained to
her that her boyfriend, Abuchi is fond of beating her at the slightest
provocation.

She said on Thursday when the tragedy occurred,
Abuchi invited Olayinde to his house along Shorinmade Street, to see his
travel documents.

Titilayo said nobody knew what happened when
the lovers were together but it is believed that they had a
misunderstanding which may have led to a fight.

Sources at 17,
Muibi Street residence of the deceased told PMNews that after the fight
with her boyfriend, the victim was rushed to G&S Hospital where she
was confirmed dead before the corpse was taken to Ikeja General Hospital
for autopsy.

Abuchi was immediately arrested and taken to Area ‘G’ Police Command, Ogba, for interrogation.

The suspect was seen writing his statement when PMNews’s correspondent visited Area ‘G’, Ogba, Friday morning.

The
Area ‘G’ Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ishola
Abdulahi, declined to speak on the issue, saying it was too early as
investigation was going on.

Speaking with PMNews, the 55-year old
father of Olayinde, Mr. Akindele Bournes, said his daughter was not a
troublesome person, adding that the government must ensure that justice
is done.

Nigerian footballers sure do not earn the sort of money some of their
colleagues from other African countries like Ivory Coast (Didier Drogab,
Yaya Toure), Cameroun (Samuel Eto) take home. However, that some of
them earn quite impressive sums of money is very obvious.

Enter the List:The
fortunes of Nigeria’s footballers in various football leagues across
the world may be dwindling as very few are able to land lucrative deals
at prestigious clubs unlike their counterparts from South America and
some African countries like Ghana, Ivory Coast (where Yaya Toure and
Didier Drogba pull in enviable amounts as wages).

However there
are still many of Nigeria’s exports who earn big in their own right and
below after extensive research I present to you the most definitive list
of Nigeria’s highest earning footballers in 2012.

Couple Crushed To Death On Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

A couple who both worked with the Lagos State Government Civil
service lost their lives to a fatal accident last weekend at the Ogere
axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State.

Mr. Rotimi Olugbuyi and Toyin Olugbuyi were said to be returning to
their Ogun state residence after attending a wedding ceremony in Ibadan,
Oyo state last Saturday when the unfortunate incident happened. The
couple, until their death, were staff of the Lagos State Civil Service.

Rotimi Olugbuyi was a Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State
Ministry of Information attached to the state Scholarship Board, the
wife Oluwatoyin was a Public Relations Officer attached to the state
Judicial Service Commission.

According to an eyewitness, the deceased were very unlucky as their
car, which was driven by Rotimi, said to be in his late 40s, had one of
its tyres burst while on motion and skidded off to the other side of the
road where a trailer, already on a high speed and heading towards
Ibadan, rammed into them, crushing the car and the occupants.

As a result of the impact, their bodies were shattered. The
dismembered bodies were later taken to the Ogere office of the Federal
Road Safety Corps, where their relatives were contacted.

It was gathered that the remains of the couple, who had been married
for 13 years without a child, were buried side by side amid tears at
their Mowe residence

Colleagues from the Lagos state government secretariat, who were
present at the burial, described the couple as very nice, loving, caring
and dedicated staff while alive

A source, who pleaded anonymity, said Toyin was three months pregnant before the unfortunate
incident. This is a very sad situation, after waiting for thirteen years, just when they were now expecting a child, they died.

However, the Lagos Council of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ)
led by its Chairman, Mr. Deji Elumoye, has paid a condolence visit to
Lagos Information Chapel of the union at the Ministry of Information and
Strategy over the death of the couple

While expressing regrets over the death of the two members, Elumoye
stated that he was satisfied with testimonies of colleagues of the
deceased couple which indicated that they lived good lives worthy of
emulation.

He urged colleagues of the deceased to rededicate themselves to duty
and impact positively on the lives of the people around them, noting
that death is an inevitable end for all.

The chairman also prayed to God that such calamities would not befall members of the union again.

Director of Press and Public Relations in the Ministry, Mrs. Ronke
Osho, noted that it was consoling that people outside the ministry
shared in the pains arising from the loss of the couple

Most colleagues were short of words but described the couple as very
loving, dutiful and easy going fellows. The colleagues are still
wondering how could death dealt a big blow on the family, relatives and
state civil service by taking them away at their prime.[Vanguard]

sell the baby boy to the men of Oodua Peoples’ Congress, OPC who later
reported the case to the police,” the prosecutor added.
